The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Compared with the relatively solemn shape and decoration of the first crown, the size of the second crown appears to be similar, but the design is much more vivid, and the production era should be earlier.

There is a thick gold piece with the basic speech, a broad headband underneath, four semi-circular arches in the middle, and a lot of small emeralds and pearls inlaid on the arches; a cross is erected on the top of the vault, and the three-cornered head Each is inlaid with a gemstone: the oval-shaped pink gemstone on both ends, and the one on top is blue.

The three gems are not inlaid on the front of the cross, but "extend out", which is somewhat similar to the inlay process of the pendant on the head of the Chinese Peking Opera Danjiao.

Not only that, but in the middle of the cross, a blue letter-grain gem is inlaid with a letter frame pattern, completely devoid of the usual seriousness of religion.

The most interesting thing is that there is a brilliant yellow gemstone on the arch beam behind the cross. The shape is basically an ellipsoid, almost the size of a thankful egg, and the appearance is quite similar!

Zhang Nan took a magnifying glass and looked at it for a while, and said: "This is a yellow diamond!"

It's a bit unbelievable, this huge yellow diamond is very quiet, and the craftsmanship is conservative, and it's basically smooth.

Such inlays all feel like they were added in the later stage: I have a good baby, where should I put it?

The crown chant.

What, there is no place in the crown?

It's okay, there is always a squeeze.

There is a cross on top, and this is not over yet, and there is a cross with a large shape on each of the four directions of the crown. Very averagely, the front of the four crosses and the headband of the connecting base are each inlaid with 7 gems, which are divided into three colors: red, blue and purple, and there is a large round pearl on the top of each cross.

These 28 gems are very large. The blood ruby ​​inlaid in the middle of the cross on the front is no smaller than the Queen of England’s "Black Prince". It is hard to say whether this is a ruby ​​or a top red spinel. Zhang Nan doesn’t see it. It came out that the identification of these two kinds of gemstones was difficult for some professional jewelry appraisers to judge at once.

Not much entanglement, no matter what it is, it is a treasure of Xia.

Almost all the gems on the entire crown are not cut into straight shapes. They are similar to the shape of the "Black Prince Ruby" on the Queen of England's crown. Only the surface is smoothed. Zhang Nan also judged this from this point. The crown was made much earlier than the one discovered earlier.

The reason for the cutting technology should be the safest to consider at the beginning. It is estimated that these gems will have settled in this crown in the modern era when the gem cutting technology is basically mature, and there will be no and no need to cry for reprocessing.

Just such a crown, bright enough and gorgeous enough, but it feels weird: call it a "nouveau riche"?

There is a little taste, but not quite.

Zhang Nan thought for a while, but couldn't find a suitable adjective. He felt a little awkward in his heart and said casually: "Brother-in-law, I always feel weird..."

Speaking of his own awkward taste, Xiang Weirong finally came to the point with a single word: "Don't pay attention!"

Yes, just don't worry about it!

This is the crown that represents the royal power. On top of it is a huge pile of precious gems of various colors, but it gives people an untuned and unsteady taste. Anyway, this is the taste in the eyes of Zhang Nan and Xiang Weirong. Tune!

After seeing enough of this "splendid" crown, and seeing that Mark was planning to put the first crown he had brought up back into the box for packing, Zhang Nan asked him to stop for a while.

He frowned and said, "I always feel that these two crowns are familiar, as if I have seen them somewhere."

When Guan Xingquan on the side heard this, he interjected: "It should be in those royal jewelry books in your study. I seem to have seen it too."

Pointing to the top one, "Very, like the top of the German emperor."

I have found a bunch of western crowns and tiaras from the mines of Berchtesgaden. The two experts who worked for Zhang Nan found a lot of information for comparison and research, and they really determined some of the crowns and the famous jewels of the royal family. Provenance.

Afterwards, many of the used materials entered Zhang Nan's study. When he was free, he flipped through them and used them as amusement and recharge. Guan Boss also took them to read.

Speaking of this, the taro in this head is clear!

"This is not the Hohenzollern crown of William II. It should be in Hohenzollern Castle. We have seen it before. No wonder we are familiar with it!"

There is a big problem!

Not only the information, but I have seen it with my own eyes. It should even be exactly the same crown!

Oh, it's the crown, the crown of the Emperor of the Second German Empire.

I read the introduction when I visited the castle. The crown displayed in the castle was made for the coronation ceremony of William II in 1888. After the First World War, William II abdicated and the crown was retained as his family property.

It is said that the crown was hidden in the wall of a church during World War II. It was later discovered and returned to the Hohenzollern family~www.readwn.com~ Then why is there another one here?

The more you look, the more it looks, exactly like the one in the taro!

The doubts in my heart came together, just thinking about resolving them, "Paul, send someone out, no matter where you go, it doesn’t matter if you go to Dresden or Berlin. Find me an album or photo with the crown of Wilhelm II. ."

Paul turned around and left, and went outside to arrange: small problems, such atlas photos can be bought in some large bookstores, and 100% can be found in big cities.

This is Germany.

Arranged, the crown was put away, "Perhaps the top in Hohenzollern Castle is a replica?"

Thinking in my head, guessing casually, it still feels very possible.

At least the one I just discovered can't be any imitation: using such a large number of high-grade diamonds and gemstones to imitate a crown?

Enough support!

Nazis hide treasures, not only those looted, but also antiques, precious metals, and works of art that originally belonged to Germany!

The Allies are not vegetarians. If you think about the American style of scraping the ground three feet in the U.S.-occupied area, you can understand that it is not unnecessary for the Germans to hide things.

And here is the Soviet-occupied area. The Soviets, who were the worst victimized by Nazi Germany and suffered heavy casualties, were even more ruthless. Even if German industrial machinery moved back, would they be polite to Germans?

Don't talk about baby, everything that is pleasing to the eye will be moved away for you!

Don’t even talk about being cruel. Think about them all died more than 20 million. Almost all parts of Europe are broken or lost. Such retaliation is not cruel at all. It’s just human nature: almost every household in the country has relatives and friends. Friends were killed or wounded in the war, and everyone would be blushing!

Oh, except for the Biao of the Virgin.

It's a pity that the Germans are unlucky. Mao Tse is a fighting nation. He doesn't even have a problem with the Biao, so hurry up and hide things.
